No oil in coolant,oil looks new, as it should, no compression test as of yet, motor is fresh,bought off a trusted member,will do that and at the same time, have a look at plugs soonest. I am at the beginning of the baseline troubleshooting procedure.I certainly will know more soon.That's why I was trying to establish if the intake port gasket seal is "go/no go" before I go to the next steps.BTW motor has NO end dowels,haven't been caught by that in quite a few years :-) Thanks guys!
